If possible, scroll down in the error message and capture all of it. However, error messages are more often system generated: A developer can code an Error message, as shown below: It may indicate there is something wrong with the data, or the table storing the data, or in a calculation. An Error is usually presented when a problem has occurred with a table operation, or some fundamental software error has occurred. A warning message is also coded by a developer, so when it appears you know, at a minimum, it was an event anticipated by the developer.Īn “ERROR” message is generally more severe. We will look at a warning message presenting an error condition later in this post. A warning message may simply be important information (“you can’t do that!”), but it may also be reporting an error. This is a message coded by the developer, and might indicate setup is missing or incorrect.Ī “WARNING”message has a single button: OK. Being familiar with these may point you in a direction to find the solution.Īn “ASK” dialog can have up to three buttons on it (such as Yes, No, Cancel). There are several different “message” boxes that GP can present, and they provide a hint about the issue you are experiencing. Then open Word, or an Email, and press CTRL+V (paste). While just PrtScn (Print Screen) captures the entire window:Ī screen capture that includes all open applications on multiple monitors can be so difficult to read that it is not helpful. ![]() Using ALT+PrtScn is different than pressing the just PrtScn (Print Screen)–pressing Alt+PrtScn takes a capture of the “active window”.Ĭapturing the Active Window gets just the error message: If you do not capture these important messages, troubleshooting may be very difficult if you cannot reproduce the error. Make this a habit! When anything unusual happens in GP, press ALT+PrtScn. This is important because it could correspond to something else occurring on the computer/network at the same time. What were the last few things you did in GP prior to the error? Be specific. ![]()
